Mystical Theology in Contemporary Perspective
The Oxford Handbook of Mystical Theology February 25, 2020 Maria Clara Lucchetti Bingemer 2 citations
In today's secularized and pluralistic world, spiritual and mystical experiences remain visible and significant. The current historical moment challenges the socio-political and cultural context of contemporary mystical life and thought. This examination traces the contours of present-day mystical experience in the southern hemisphere, where the experience of the Spirit is uniquely intertwined with secular politics, interreligious dialogue, and the rise of intra-ecclesial spiritualism. These developments pose new challenges for Christian theology and its discourse about humanity.
